Eager to learn welding but have no idea where to start?

This workshop covers welding from a fabrication perspective, which includes processes of: project design, material acquisition, cutting materials efficiently and safely, and proper welding techniques for ensuring a strong and safe bond of your materials into a cohesive structure.

Workshop breakdown:

1. strategies for designing metal fabrication projects

2. measuring and cutting metal material with an abrasive cut wheel

3. buffing metal material with an angle grinder

4. metal joining techniques with a MIG welding machine

+++ attendees will create their own steel tube frame to take home by the end of the workshop +++

Safety Requirements:

1. Attendees must be 18+ (maybe we'll host a kids welding workshop in the future!)

2. Please wear :

☠️ long sleeve pants that are denim or 100% cotton and a long sleeve shirt that's 100% cotton as well (button up denim or flannel shirts work great!). Wearing cotton is very important because it protects your skin from sparks + welding light exposure.

3. Safety equipment available at the workshop:
